I’m not complaining about your work. Just wanted to ask…. Ok… all tile leaks through the grout. That’s why the shower pan is super critical. So when you tile over tile. You need to make sure the moisture that gets below the tile can flow to the drain and then allow the grout to dry out. Otherwise the grout will stay wet all the time causing mold. Did you make sure to add new weep holes at the new drain. I build custom homes and remodel homes. The number one issue I find is wet shower pains, moldy grout and tile due to poor shower pan drainage. So. Now when water makes its way through your new grout. It hits the new water barrier. It will run towards the low spots which should be your drain. However when it hits the new piece of black pipe installed it cannot get into the drain, there are no weep holes. So the grout will become saturated with water and never fully denoting used regularly.

I've seen many shower pan failiars also. I say most of the cases depend on the home owners. If the clean and seal the tiles regularly they will never have an issue. I clean and maintain mine. It really is amazing to goof proof it. But honestly I didn't bother making weeping holes and bs . It's too much overthinking here for a small tile shower floor that has all the fancy waterproofing stuff under it . When I use this shower every day. I always notice that my grout dosent even get wet let alon having mold in it. If u watch the video again you will see I used that grout additive . It literally made it water repellent 100 percent. You can see the water from in to small balls when it hits the grout here. I do not ever worry about weeping holes or water getting in or under this grout. All the best . Thanks for watching and the comments. I really appreciate you and people like you.

hi a very informative video. When finishing off the corners with silicone, I would suggest first tooling off the silicone with your finger first, then spraying it with water, followed by a spray of soapy water and then another tooling off with your fingers. If you spray the silicone before tooling it off, you prevent the silicone sticking to the tiles on the feather edges of the bead and mould will establish in these areas. cheers

This is an excellent video, possibly the best on this subject (I haven't watched them all...) and I send the link to everybody who asks me about tiling over tile in the shower. Even homeowners who won't do the work need to know how to do it to demand the best result from the installers they hire. This was a superb job in all details, which unfortunately required many work interruptions and return trips that most professional installers would try to avoid by cutting corners to make more money. The results of this job depend largely on the detailed work that only a knowledgeable and careful installer can deliver **IF** they are paid enough for the time invested.

Surprisingly I picked out the same exact tile from Lowes. Can you tell me what color grout you used. It looks perfect with the natural stone. Also, is it over kill to paint on a membrane like Redguard and if I did go that route would you suggest to put the primer over the Redguard? Thanks
@renovationschool88182 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching 🙂 I don't remember the grout colour but I'm sure I showed it in the video you may be able to see what brand and colour it was if you watch the video one more time. just use any sanded grout that matches the colour of the tiles ( stay away from premixed grout they suck so much) As far as applying redguard on the old tiles it depends, if your tile has a rough texture it should work, but if the floor tiles are shiny and big redguard will not stick as well as this primer. this primer adheres very well to tiles even if they're shiny. if the shower floor doesn't leak I suggest using the primer overall. If you want to use the redguard id say to apply this primer first and then apply the redguard on top if you want to. The primer is used for bonding the materials. All the best 👍

My plan was to sand, apply the tile primer, then a coat of Red Gard, and then install Kerdi membrane and a Kerdi curb to make sure the floor doesn't leak. I do have a small leak on the outside of the present curb which is probably wood and not sealed properly. Any thoughts?

Thanks for watching Professionals always do the walls first. Be aware if u do the floors first establishing the first row on the bottom of the walls will be difficult for DIY guys because u need to get perfect grout lines. Since shower floors are sloped you need to cut the bottom of every wall tile according to the slope ( only the bottom row will be hard to do) but let's say if you are not very skilled with tile work you can do the walls first and hide the bottom row cut imperfections with the floor tiles.

OK, so grout will crack , the tile or better to say, walls and the entire house expand and contract, things shift in the house or the house settles after time , these will cause the grout to crack on the corners at some point. because grout is hard material. Silicon is soft and after the expansion and contractions happens the soft silicon will also move with the walls or shower floor corners and it stops the water from seeping in and causing mold or water damage behind the tiles, that is why you see pros use silicon on the corners. now there is a specialty silicon that has grout mixed in it, it looks exactly like grout but it has silicon mixed in it , it comes in a tube and it applies just like the regular silicon, I will leave you a link bellow so you can see it , you can get them from home depot , lows and any tile store. over all that's the idea behind using silicon on the corners. there is another type of grout also , its called polymeric epoxy grout , that product is a crack proof, but its very hard to find and its very pricey , its very hard to clean and it will leave a haze on the tiles when you're done. you need to wash the tiles with denatured alcohol many times after the grout job is done just to remove the haze. i used it twice and I regretted it both times. it will add a lot of unnecessary cost and labor to a tile project. I hope I answered your question , thanks again for watching. here is a link to the silicon/grout mixture that I was talking about , it comes in sanded and none sanded packages depending on what grout you use. www.homedepot.com/p/Custom-Building-Products-Polyblend-380-Haystack-10-5-oz-Sanded-Ceramic-Tile-Caulk-PC38010S/100678064

Excellent and thorough video! Thank you! How would you recommend tiling over a shower floor that is river rock, which obviously isn't a totally smooth surface like you have shown in your video?

Thanks for watching and the kind words. if u dont have any water and leaking issues , I would suggest washing the tiles super clean first and then when its bone dry, clean it with alcohol. Then apply the primmer that i used in the video. when primmer is dried up use modiffied thin set (that i showed in the video) and skim coat over the rock tiles till its smooth, making sure its slopped properly so when u tile over it the water goes to the drain. allow to dry up for a full day and then tile over it the same way i explained. basically build a layer of modified thinset on top of the rock tiles after the primmer is dried up and make sure its slopped properly before tilling over it.

Question. My shower walls are concrete block. Should I tile the floor all the way to touching the walls or leave a gap for expansion and fill the gap with silicone ? Thanks great video

Thanks for watching, I honestly have not seen a singel concrete shower wall in my life , concrete is very pours and it absorbs water like a sponge I don't know why or how come u have concrete walls to begin with!

@@renovationschool8818 I live in Florida and all homes here are pretty much concrete block . Yes interior walls have Sheetrock over them . However this shower was built out in the garage and all walls are concrete (heavily painted). Was built in the 1960s and has worked fine that way. Anyway my plan is to completely TILE the inside of the shower walls anyway . Starting with tiling over the floor.

Wow that's very interesting U can differently tile over it but make sure to apply redguard or some type of waterproofing membrane before u tile it because if the water leakes through the tiles or grout lines you don't want to have mold issues.

i am thinking about retiling on top of existing tile due to uneven low spot area of the shower pan and is pooling water. Other than the process you mentioned on your video, before actual retiling, what would be the recommended process to ensure on top tile will have correct slope down to drain?
@renovationschool8818 Жыл бұрын
You can mix some thinset and fix the slope first and then tile over that when it's dry
